About Us
ABOUT US
72 Taboot: Honouring the
Martyrs of Karbala in London
The 72 Taboot London Foundation, a registered charity, is dedicated to preserving the legacy of the 72 martyrs of the Battle of Karbala. Through our annual commemoration, we honour the immense sacrifices made by Hazrat Imam Hussain (AS), his family, and his loyal companions.
Each year, we organise a powerful spiritual gathering in the heart of London, featuring a majlis (religious gathering) and a juloos (procession). Attendees are given the rare opportunity to perform ziyarat (pilgrimage) of 72 symbolic taboots—coffin replicas that each represent a martyr of Karbala.
About Location

Held at Larkhall Park, Stockwell, London, this event attracts thousands of participants from across the UK and Europe, creating a diverse and united gathering of mourners and spiritual seekers.
Renowned scholars and reciters deliver moving lectures and nohas (elegies) in a variety of languages, fostering inclusivity and a deep sense of reflection among attendees.
About Mission
